Saint Saviour's Episcopal Church and Rectory face you at 41 Mt. Desert Street in Bar Harbor. Look at a building whose fabric tells a long story: constructed over campaigns between 1877 and 1938, it is a local example of an American Shingle Style church executed in stone and wood. The complex brings together a large cruciform church and a Shingle Style rectory originally built in 1899 and twice enlarged.
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, the church is built of fieldstone and is capped at the crossing by a square wood-frame tower with a pyramidal roof. The long axis of the cross runs parallel to the street, and to the north you can make out later additions, including a choir hall and a bell carillon. The congregation has varied over recent years: it reported 131 members in 2016, 97 members in 2020, no membership statistics in 2024 parochial reports, plate and pledge income of $74,200 in 2024, and an average Sunday attendance of 34 persons in 2024.
This fieldstone church still carries its square tower and pyramidal roof over the crossing, its long axis running with you down Mt. Desert Street.
